Patient Question
Hello Doctor,
I have a scar on my skin, so how can I remove it?
Answered by Dr. Michal Mrazik
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
There are many ways to deal with scars, but the treatment depends on the type and age of the scar. If the scar is hypertrophic or keloid (where too much tissue grows outside the scar), treatments like steroid injections or fractional laser therapy may be effective. If it is an atrophic scar (a depression in the skin), fractional laser therapy or hyaluronic acid injections into the scar could help. However, it's important to remember that scars cannot be completely removed; you can only improve their appearance to make them less visible.
Thanks
